Irans Ahmadinejad is a miracle: new book
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a miracle, according to a new book about the hardline leader set to hit the Islamic republics bookstores in the coming days.
Oboy! It's a cult of personality! Soon they'll have 20-foot banners with his picture on them, like they have in NKor... | The conservative Fardanews website said the book was written as a tribute to Irans sixth president who scored a shock election win 11 months ago. The author of Ahmadinejad: the Third Millennium Miracle is Fatemeh Rajabi, the wife of government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham. She is also a contributor to the Ya Lessarat weekly, the newspaper of Irans ultra-hardline Ansar Hezbollah militia. In her book, Rajabi will express her belief and the reasons to prove Ahmadinejad is a third millennium miracle on earth, the report added, without giving any further details.
Well, every Great Leader needs a good PR agent. | Contacted by AFP, a source in Ahmadinejads office said only that the book was about his election victory last June. Ahmadinejad was swept into office partly thanks to his championing of religious and revolutionary values as well as his promise to use the countrys huge oil revenues to help the poor. Since taking the presidency, he has displayed unbinding commitment to Irans disputed nuclear drive and has launched a series of verbal assaults against arch-enemies Israel and the United States.
